Where is the proof Santa Claus doesn't exist, he has books about him, he even has songs?

Question

And if someone puts a present on your doorstep saying From: Santa, it just might possibly be from Santa how do you know for sure?

Where is the proof he doesn't exist?

Answer 1

1) No known species of reindeer can fly. BUT there are 300,000 species of living organisms yet to be classified, and while most of these are insects and germs, this does not COMPLETELY rule out flying reindeer which only Santa has ever seen.

2) There are 2 billion children (persons under 18) in the world. BUT since Santa doesn't (appear) to handle the Muslim, Hindu, Jewish and Buddhist children, that reduces the workload to 15% of the total - 378 million according to Population Reference Bureau. At an average (census) rate of 3.5 children per household, that's 91.8 million homes. One presumes there's at least one good child in each.

3) Santa has 31 hours of Christmas to work with, thanks to the different time zones and the rotation of the earth, assuming he travels east to west (which seems logical). This works out to 822.6 visits per second. This is to say that for each Christian household with good children, Santa has 1/1000th of a second to park, hop out of the sleigh, jump down the chimney, fill the stockings, distribute the remaining presents under the tree, eat whatever snacks have been left, get back up the chimney, get back into the sleigh and move on to the next house. Assuming that each of these 91.8 million stops are evenly distributed around the earth (which, of course, we know to be false but for the purposes of our calculations we will accept), we are now talking about .78 miles per household, a total trip of 75-1/2 million miles, not counting stops to do what most of us must do at least once every 31 hours, plus feeding and etc.

This means that Santa's sleigh is moving at 650 miles per second, 3,000 times the speed of sound. For purposes of comparison, the fastest man- made vehicle on earth, the Ulysses space probe, moves at a poky 27.4 miles per second - a conventional reindeer can run, tops, 15 miles per hour.

4) The payload on the sleigh adds another interesting element. Assuming that each child gets nothing more than a medium-sized lego set (2 pounds), the sleigh is carrying 321,300 tons, not counting Santa, who is invariably described as overweight. On land, conventional reindeer can pull no more than 300 pounds. Even granting that "flying reindeer" (see point #1) could pull TEN TIMES the normal amount, we cannot do the job with eight, or even nine. We need 214,200 reindeer. This increases the payload - not even counting the weight of the sleigh - to 353,430 tons. Again, for comparison - this is four times the weight of the Queen Elizabeth.

5) 353,000 tons traveling at 650 miles per second creates enormous air resistance - this will heat the reindeer up in the same fashion as spacecraft re-entering the earth's atmosphere. The lead pair of reindeer will absorb 14.3 QUINTILLION joules of energy. Per second. Each. In short, they will burst into flame almost instantaneously, exposing the reindeer behind them, and create deafening sonic booms in their wake. The entire reindeer team will be vaporized within 4.26 thousandths of a second. Santa, meanwhile, will be subjected to centrifugal forces 17,500.06 times greater than gravity. A 250-pound Santa (which seems ludicrously slim) would be pinned to the back of his sleigh by 4,315,015 pounds of force.

In conclusion - If Santa ever DID deliver presents on Christmas Eve, he's dead now.

Answer 2

Your on the perfect song right here. Superman is likewise a good contender, fantastically 2 thousand from now while "historical" textual content textile info of supernatural beings (like Santa Claus) are in question. you're able to take an archeology class and anthropology. additionally look into extreme writing and how written debts are authenticated or demonstrated.

Goofy to this day at 37 years of age - yes. But the little kid in me still believes.

Answer 6

You can't prove that something doesn't exist... the universe is infinite, or might as well be for all we will know in our lifetimes, and science is all theories... strong, necessary, useful theories, but theories none the less. Plenty of them are proven wrong every day. Who can say its not as simple as faith?
I beleive in unicorns. And I don't disbeleive in Santa.

Answer 7

He doesn't give me the presents I asked for. Last Christmas I asked for a beautiful blonde, or at least Paris Hilton, to be placed beside me in my bed ready for me on Christmas morning. As I got nothing, I don't believe in him any more.

History of Santa

4th Century: There were two incompatible beliefs about St. Nicholas.

In Roman Catholics and Conservative Protestants there is a belief that St. Nicholas of Bari lives in Asia, and died either in 345 or 352 A.D. He is considered the patron saint of children and sailors.

Legends and Miracles

At an infant, his mother only nursed him on Wednesdays and Fridays.
He stopped a storm at sea to save three drowning sailors.
Through his life, he loved children and often threw gifts into their windows.
His father left him a fortune which he used to help poor children.
He brought life to several children that had been killed.

Religious Historians and experts in folklore believe that there is no evidence that St. Nicholas ever existed at a human. Some believe that he is a recycled Pagan god.

When the church created the image of St. Nicholas, they seem to have picked up his last name from Nickar. "In medieval England... in tiny sea ports we find the typical little chapel built on an eminence and looking out to sea." the stocking part of christmas came from "The Grandmother" or Befana from Italy. She filled childrens stockings with gifts.

The Christian church created a fictional life history for St. Nicholas. He was given the name Hagios Nikolaos (a.k.a. St. Nicholas of Myra).

10th Century: The Christian author Metaphrastes collected and wrote many traditional legends about St. Nicholas.

11th Century: The Roman Catholic Church teaches that during the Muslim invasion of Asia Minor, his remains were transferred to Bari in Italy, where he became known as Nicholas of Bari.

19th Century: St. Nicholas was superseded in much of Europe by Christkindlein, a Christ child, who delivered gifts in secret to the children. He traveled with a dwarf-like helper called Pelznickel (a.k.a. Belsnickle) or with St. Nicholas-like figures. Eventually, all three were combined into the image that we now know as Santa Claus. "Christkindlein" became Kris Kringle.

Present Day:

Throughout many countries in Europe, St. Nicholas or Santa distributes gifts to the children on DEC-5. In some countries, the gifts come at another time during Advent or on Christmas eve.
In Germany, Weinachtsmann (Christmas man) is a helper of the Christkind (Christ Child)
In France, Père Noël distributes the gifts.
In Russia, under the influence of communism, St. Nicolas evolved into the secular Father Frost. He distributes toys to children on New Year's Eve.
In England, Father Christmas delivers the presents. He is shown with holly, ivy or mistletoe.
In Scandinavian countries, the ancient Pagan Yule goat has changed into Joulupukki - similar to the American Santa.
In North America, Santa Claus rules, thanks to a certain brand of soda, "Coke Cola"
According to Roman Catholic church, his body is said to have not decomposed. In his shrine in Bari, Italy, it is believed by many pilgrims to exude a sweet smelling odor which cures medical disorders and illnesses.
THESE ARE ALL A FORM OF SANTA OR WHAT EVER YOU CALL HIM

Answer 9

Saint Nicholas did exist.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Nicholas
So....if we believe that Jesus died, but he's still around, there's no reason to suspect that Santa isn't still around too....right??

Answer 10

My mom says he exists!
